| Evaluation: Approval of coursework/reports
|
| Examination: Pass/fail |
| Previous course: 21382 |
| Prerequisites: C3300 / 28110 Introductory courses in Chemistry or Introductory courses in Technical Physics |
| No credit points with: C3515 / 21382 |
| Participant limitation: Max. 16 |
| Aim: To familiarize the students with: 1.Ceramic process technology. 2.The practical use of 3-component phase diagrams for the solution of ceramic problems. |
| Contents: Production of classical ceramics - treatment of clay based bodies and slips, shaping by uniaxial pressing and slip casting, drying, decoration and glazing as well as firing. Sol-gel processing of solid electrolyte. Introduction to 3-component phase diagrams and their use i the solution of problems like: choice of chemical composition, raw materials and reaction sequence; equilibrium contra non equilibrium melts and sintering. These problems will be illustrated by calculation exercises and experimental investigation in which optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, rheology, BET, grain size analysis and thermal analysis are used to characterize the samples. |
